How do I transfer a single cookie from Firefox 24 on a Win XP computer to Firefox 24 on a Win 7 computer?

I have Firefox 24.0 on a Win7 computer that has to access a website which requires a cookie on that computer to complete the access, but that computer cannot have access to email - even temporarily - required to download the cookie. I do have the cookie on my WinXP computer, which is running the same version of Firefox, but I need to transfer ONLY the one cookie without loosing any of those that are currently installed. 

    Any help is appreciated - Jamie

If you're trying to manually copy cookies between browsers, this JavaScript bookmarklet may be useful - it allows you to access and modify the cookies of the current domain; this means you could run it in one browser, copy the cookies to clipboard, then run in another browser and paste.

Note that some apps may store browser-specific data (or flags) in cookies (or related components, like sessions), which may lead to strange behavior (e.g. "this-cookie-was-set-for-IE6=1, enable broken-browser-workarounds").
